Official Squatch Watchers

Good morning!
Overslept again by an hour, no idea why I went to bed early guess I was just tired.
It could have been because I went to bed irritated, the MIL wanted us to pick up the child she adopted from school then got ill when we said no we can't.
Honestly nobody was trying to be difficult, we aren't authorized to go get him and we don't have a car seat which are two big no no's these days.
Anyhoo she's on the warpath because I hate kids "not really" lol!

Nunny!
So good to hear from you, sounds like you've been busy as a bee with an espresso addiction.
I giggled, no I snorted at your guinea keets my lord you're always up for a challenge aren't you?
They are cute though.
Here not much has changed the herd is still all with me even Homer and Jerry, neither of which has entirely grown up.
Jerry is pretty much a full grown rooster that still pushes under my armpit and Homer still wedges under butts.
Did have one take the ferry across the river Styx, my old cat finally passed the one that I got in 2003 so that was fairly sucktacular.

Sorry about your kitty Chicky. I swear we are never ready for them to leave us.

Not sure what is with the pictures I put in my post. It shows them as attachments but won't open. Can anyone see them?

Good morning Nunny, have a great day... No can't see them. Did you use the attach files button?

Nope I tried, but I did see the TikTok of Merida.
You have that girl spoiled rotten.
And no after nearly two decades of having a kitty suddenly not having one isn't easy.
I can say it was fast she didn't suffer so that was at least a little comforting.

Did y'all know some of these loan places want your banking password?
You've got to be kidding me right?
Who would give them that?
Pre-approved or not no flipping thanks.

You would be amazed at the number of fishers and malware things are out there.

I'm alive. I've been trying to catch up but you all are so talkative I just can't.
Not even sure where it was that I updated everyone last. So much has been going on. Got more chickens. Lost more chickens. Rehabbed 2 prefab coops and a rabbit hutch to bring my total to 6. On top of recently adding a new account to my night job and expecting another account to finally come back.

This little coop got a new roof and I built the run from salvaged materials. I had to buy the blocks to put it on and the HW cloth is new but I even reused screws. It's the serama house. I need to put actual shingles on the roof but the paint I used is super duty outdoor stuff. So it will last till I get the chance for real roofing. I want to cover the run too but they are safe and it has a temporary tarp cover for this lovely weather we've had.

I had a broody epidemic.View attachment 2762755
This little lady would not break so I got her some chicks. I tried to get her to break for so long I was afraid to let her hatch. She was just the beginning. After her 12 more decided it was a good idea to hatch babies!
So now I have guinea keets. I don't know how they have survived as a species. Within the 1st week I had 1 get stuck and 2 escape. They are in the serama pen. With 5 moms! One of the babies made it 20 yards to the other side of the chicken run. Just the other day one manged to get itself scewered on the ends on of the HW cloths upside-down. It's alive and I can't even tell which one it is now. But they are a whole new level of dumb. And I have silkies!

Merida my mostly blind house chicken has had some issues but so far we are working through them. View attachment 2763013
She makes a great napping buddy. Keeps me warm and blocks the light from my eyes.

And I joined tik tok. It was mostly so I could laugh.

I sadly had to put one of my cats to sleep.View attachment 2763018
She came into my life on deaths door step abandoned at about 7 y/o. I got 7 years with her. It was a quick and sudden decline into liver failure. And treatment didn't sound pleasant or likely to work. I pet her while she passed and buried her at my childhood home in the family cemetery.

That's all I can really think of right now. I'm sure I've missed things.

And I'd love a recap of what I've missed.

NUNNY!!!

So good to see you!!!

Nope cannot see the pics either.

Serama coop and run. Also guinea jail currently.


Merida blocking the light for me so I can nap.

Crazy broody


It's done that to me before with the pictures and I don't know why.

This is an actual company "upstart" they use a 3rd party financial verification service "plaid" the fine print mumbo jumbo if you didn't take the time to read it is beyond intrusive.
This was a pre-approved personal loan offer I briefly checked out and decided against.
They have good ratings but the weirdness made me hard pass.
I know there are a ton of crooks out there, lordy I removed more ransomware for my dad than I care to think about.
You know the whole pay us 300$ to unlock your computer deals.
De malwared butt tons of computers belonging to the older generation which was always uh... interesting.
I thought the same thing though, these have to be crooks but no just legitimate craziness.

You would be amazed at the number of fishers and malware things are out there.

Hey Nunny you going to sell me some serama and silkie eggs so I can play Dr.Frankenstein with the derp DNA??
I just need two tiny roosters, I wouldn't put hens through well... you know.
Roosters on the other hand I'm pretty sure would be perfectly fine with it.

I’ll trade you for derp eggs! I haven’t been eggs from the silkies in a little while and very few from the seramas. The broody craze put a stop to egg laying. But both have the potential for frizzles. All of my silkies have been showgirls too.
